Thanksgiving(s!)

We celebrated our first Thanksgiving dinner early, while my parents were visiting.  I did a 10 pound turkey and all of our traditional dishes.  It was great to be able to celebrate it with them, and we were very thankful they were here!


While we were here we went out to visit my Dad's sister and her husband who are running a Cadence Hospitality House here in Germany.


Luna loves the sparkly pink purse she got from Gramma.


Grampa hugs!


Made a spice cake for my Dad's 65th birthday!




On Thursday we celebrated Thanksgiving with some good friends who will be leaving Germany shortly, and 2 other families.  It was such a blessing to share teh Thanksgiving table with all of them.  I am so thankful for these women in my life!

Luna got to wear this adorable outfit that Gramma brought!



A. had a pretty skirt just like Luna's!




Stu carving the bird.




Not my greatest work of art... but it tasted good!





And tonight we were blessed with our 3rd (!) feast, hosted by the Forbes family, who we go to church with.  Everybody arrived soon after services, and bot was there aplenty!  She invited some of her German neighbors who seemed quite bowled over by the meal!




Kids table - too cute!


Grown ups table - can't believe they have the capacity for this in their house!



Thanks to everybody for 3 wonderful Thanksgivings!  We are truely blessed!
